Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of scrolling window screen by way of controlling electronic device, and particularly to a method with which the window screen can be scrolled easily, fast and effortlessly with controlling electronic device.
- GUI Graphical User Interface
- One of the main functionalities for the GUI is the ability for the scrolling of the window screen (including up-down scrolling and left-right scrolling) for the easy browsing by a user. Therefore, at the edge of the window (up-down edge or left-right edge), usually situates a graphical control tool called the scroll bar to allow the user to press on with a mouse and drag along the parallel direction of the scroll bar so that the window screen can be scrolled.
- the scroll bar usually just occupies one or two small locations on the screen (up-down scroll bar or left-right scroll bar) and it results in the difficulties and time consuming problem for the user to accurately move the cursor on top of the scroll bar.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,943,052 discloses a method for controlling the scroll bar with a scrolling zone, which is disposed on a touch device electrically connected to a computer, allows the user to move up and down (vertical scrolling zone) or left and right (horizontal scrolling zone) on the touch device with a finger so as to perform the up-down scrolling or left-right scrolling of a window screen and achieve an effective way for controlling the scroll bar.
- the method requires the finger to scroll continuously in order to simulate the scrolling of the mouse scroll wheel so that the system has to repetitively detect and determine the movement of the finger in any direction. It not only increases the complexity of the system program but also the user has to continuously exert force on the finger to perform the scrolling on the touch device. In this way, it easily causes fatigue and injury to the finger.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a convenient method of window screen scrolling for controlling electronic device.
- the method of window screen scrolling for controlling electronic device comprises of the following steps: (A) N scrolling zones are installed on the touch device, where N is an integer equal or greater than 1; (B) detect the N scrolling zones, when the J scrolling zone is being pressed, then the window screen is controlled to scroll in the direction of J.
- the electronic device includes at least one monitor, at least one touch device and a processing unit.
- the monitor is used to display at least one window screen.
- the touch device has N scrolling zones, where N is an integer equal or greater than 1, and the touch device can perform detection on the N scrolling zones.
- the processing unit, the monitor and the touch device are all electrically connected and once the J scrolling zone of the N scrolling zones is pressed, the window screen is to scroll in the direction of J.
- FIG. 1 is a structure diagram of a first preferred embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a structure diagram of a second preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a structure diagram of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention illustrating another example.
- FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of the first preferred embodiment of the electronic device according to the present invention, wherein the electronic device 1 include a touch device 2 , a processing unit 3 connected electrically to the touch device 2 and a monitor for displaying the window screen 4 .
- the touch device 2 controls the window screen through the processing unit 3 .
- the processing unit 3 is installed with an operation system 32 and an application program 21 , which forms a Graphical User Interface (GUI) including a scroll bar on the window screen 4 .
- GUI Graphical User Interface
- the preceding preferred embodiment at the right edge (or the left edge) of the touch device 2 is provided with a first press zone 21 , a second press zone 22 and a third press zone 23 (called middle stop zone hereinafter), which is situated between the first and second press zones, and the three press zone are arranged vertically to be adapted to movement (up-down movement) of the scroll bar 41 on the window screen 4 so as to allow the hand and eyes being coordination while the user operates on the press zones.
- press zones 24 ⁇ 26 for the left and right scrolling of the window screen 4 can be installed at the top or bottom edge of the touch device 2 .
- the processing unit 3 is installed with an optional driver program 33 which can be used with the touch device 2 to control the scrolling of the scroll bar 41 and allow the user an convenient way to modify the related settings for press zones 21 ⁇ 23 .
- the touch device 2 itself can have a built-in detection circuit (not shown in the figure) and a scroll bar controlling circuit so the touch device 2 itself can perform the control on the scroll bar without requiring the driver program 33 . Therefore, when the touch device 2 with the driver program 33 detecting the first press zone 21 is pressed continuously, it will then continuously produce a first control signal to the processing unit 3 to allow the window frame 4 to maintain its scrolling in the first direction (upward) and at the same time, the scroll bar will follow to move upwards.
- a second control signal is produced continuously and sent to the processing unit 3 so that the window screen 4 can maintain scrolling in the second direction (downward) opposite to the first direction (upward) and at the same time, the scroll bar will follow to move downwards.
- the window screen 4 stops scrolling immediately.
- the first embodiment of the present invention allows the user to use the finger to touch any of the press zone 21 ⁇ 23 on the touch device 2 without moving the finger and the up-down scrolling or stop scrolling of the window screen 4 can be controlled.
- the middle stop zone 23 is not necessarily required and the touch device 2 can decide the scrolling or stopping of the window screen by determining if the finger presses on or releases from the press zone 21 ⁇ 23 .
- a special press zone 27 can be further installed on the touch device 2 .
- the processing unit 3 resets the status of the scrolling bar, wherein the mentioned resetting the status of the scrolling bar can be any of the following actions:
- the action for the above mentioned resetting scroll bar's setting status can be started when the touch device 2 has detected multiple press zones being pressed simultaneously.
- the touch device 2 can detect the continuous and short pressing action (or clicking) on the first press zone 21 or the second press zone 22 to allow the processing unit 3 to be based on the number of continuous clicking of the first press zone 21 or the second press zone 22 to correspondingly adjust the scrolling speed of the window screen 4 .
- the touch device 2 when the touch device 2 has detected the first press zone 21 having been clicked, it will start counting the number of clicks within a fixed time after the first click, and based on the number of clicks generate a control signal to the processing unit 3 , in order to adjust the corresponding scrolling speed of the window screen 4 in the first direction.
- the window screen 4 when clicking once, it will make the window screen 4 to scroll at normal speed, continuous clicking twice will make the window frame 4 to scroll at two times the normal speed, while clicking three times, it will make the window screen 4 to scroll at three times the normal speed.
- the window screen 4 when the second press zone 22 is pressed, the window screen 4 will scroll towards a direction that is opposite to the first direction and the speed will be adjusted according to the number of clicks on the second press zone 22 . Therefore, the user can be based on his preference to use the finger clicking continuously multiple times on the first press zone 21 or the second press zone 22 so as to control the scrolling speed of the window screen 4 and thus the finger does not have to move on the touch device 2 .
- the touch device 2 can also detect the time duration when the first press zone or the second press zone is pressed to allow the processing unit 3 based on this time duration to correspondingly adjust the scrolling speed of the window screen 4 .
- the longer the pressing duration the faster the scrolling speed while the shorter the pressing duration, the slower the scrolling time.
- the touch device 2 can detect the position of the pressing on the first press zone 21 or the second press zone 22 to allow the processing unit 3 based on the position to correspondingly adjust the scrolling speed of the window screen 4 .
- the closer the pressing position closer to the center of the touch device 2 (which is the third press zone 23 ) the slower the scrolling speed while the further the pressing position from the center of the touch device 2 , the faster the scrolling time.
- the processing unit 3 when the touch device 2 has detected the first press zone 21 or the second press zone 22 being pressed, it will allow the processing unit 3 to control the window frame 4 to maintain its scrolling until the same press zone is pressed again to stop scrolling and by the toggling on/off to control if the window screen 4 will scroll or not.
- the processing unit 3 can control the window screen 4 to maintain scrolling until the other press zone is pressed to stop scrolling or control the window screen 4 to maintain scrolling until the area outside the press zone is pressed again to stop scrolling.
- the touch device 2 will send out a first scrolling instruction to allow the processing unit 3 controlling the window screen 4 scrolling once right after the pressing. And after a short period of time, continue to send out the second scrolling instruction to allow the processing unit 3 to maintain the continuous scrolling of the window screen 4 .
- the time span between the first and second scrolling instructions can be set as equal, shorter or longer than the time after the continuous instructions are set.
- FIG. 2 which shows the second preferred embodiment according to the present invention and it differs from the first preferred embodiment in that on the touch device 5 , at the location of the first press zone 21 in the first embodiment, is installed a first normal speed zone (the upward normal speed zone) 51 and the first faster speed zone (the upward faster speed zone) 52 , and at the location of the second press zone 22 in the first embodiment, is installed a second normal speed zone (the downward normal speed zone) 53 and a second faster speed zone (the downward faster speed zone) 54 , and a middle stop zone 55 between the upward normal speed zone and the downward normal speed zone.
- a first normal speed zone the upward normal speed zone
- the first faster speed zone the upward faster speed zone
- the touch device 5 when the touch device 5 has detected the upward normal speed zone 51 or the upward faster speed zone 52 having been pressed, through the processing unit 3 , it controls the window screen 4 to scroll upward at normal speed or a faster speed. Similarly, when the touch device 5 has detected the downward normal speed zone 53 or the downward faster speed zone 54 having been pressed, through the processing unit 3 , it controls the window screen 4 to scroll downward at normal speed or a faster speed.
- the above mentioned window screen 4 will stop its scrolling when the touch device 5 has detected the middle stop zone 55 being pressed or the press zones 51 - 54 having not been pressed.
- the user just needs to touch the press zones 51 - 54 for decide the scrolling speed of the window screen 4 and the finger does not has to be moved.
- the middle stop zone 55 is not necessarily required and the touch device 5 can determine whether the finger presses or leaves the press zone 51 - 55 to control the window screen 4 to scroll or stop.
